The second edition of 'Coastal Planning and Management' provides a comprehensive toolkit for both coastal professionals and students of coastal management. The important link between coastal planning and management is presented, with emphasis on tools for the development, evaluation and implementation of all key types of coastal management plans. It gives professional students the opportunity to choose from a variety of established planning and management techniques. The second edition broadens the theoretical basis of the book, and includes additional analysis of coastal planning styles and approaches such as ecosystem-based and values/societal planning. There are new case studies from all over the world, and updates of progress on the case studies from the first edition are given. Case studies come from Europe, North America, Asia, the Indo-Pacific, Australia, Africa and the Middle East. Drawing on examples of coastal planning and management from around the world, authors provide clear and practical guidance, particularly for people who make daily decisions about the coast. 'Coastal Planning and Management', second edition, is a valuable resource for professionals in environmental and planning consultancies, academics and researchers in the fields of geography, marine and environmental science, marine and coastal engineering and marine policy and planning.

The transdisciplinary research synthesised in this book represents an endeavour by a group of coastal researchers and policy analysts to learn from a cross-comparison of seven international case studies on tidal inlet or estuary mouth management situations, located in South Africa, Sri Lanka, California, Suriname, Ireland and the Netherlands. The conceptual framing is provided by a focus on systems knowledge and its development and use within coastal management This book is intended for: Transdisciplinary scholars who are interested in interdisciplinary learning and knowledge exchange, Policy analysts, environmental historians and coastal policy specialists who are interested in the role of science in the evolution of coastal policy and management, Coastal scientists and engineers interested in the dynamics of tidal inlets and estuary mouths, Coastal managers looking to learn about tidal inlet and mouth management practices Educators focussed on interdisciplinary skills or interested in using the case studies in coastal, management and engineering classes or as the basis for problem structuring exercises by policy students, and Students interested in coastal systems management and wanting to broaden their interdisciplinary competence. This version is an Open Access revised edition. Funder: NWO-Multi-actor Systems - Co-Designing Nature-based interventions inCoastal Systems (grant number 850.13.043).

In recent years, coastal environments have drawn an increasing awareness globally, regionally, or locally as in many coastal regions, the rapid industrial, urban, and agricultural development has caused dramatic land use and land cover (LULC) changes and various water pollution events in coastal environments. These environmental consequences of human activities exacerbate the effects of regional and global climate change on the hydrological cycle between the land and ocean, and these effects are frequently hazardous or destructive to coastal regions around the world. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) technologies are thoroughly adopted and applied to monitor the dynamic change of coastal environments, such as coastal LULC, water quality, and marine ecosystem.
